"To all of our beloved family and friends of Add En On:
I know you are all wanting to hear from us, to say something. Bruce and I are in shock, numb, and saddened that we lost some of our "kids". Our hearts are broken......
My staff, are amazing. They saved so many lives, and we are thankful to have had them respond so quickly, and that they were not hurt.............they are all ok.
And to all our family, volunteers, veterinarians, former employees, other kennels, friends, runners, skiers, the fire department .......all of the wonderful and kind people we saw who came to lend support........we thank you. We are so eternally grateful to all of you.....you were wonderful to us and our dogs.
We do not know what else to say right now.....but we love you all.
